How did your lopsided math/science student do in admissions?

Linymom, My lopsided kid got into Md-CP with a 3.0gpa (somewhere between a 3.5 and 3.6 weighted), about 6 APs, lots of honors and an overall 27/28 ACT with consistent math highs in the 30s and a low in English of 23 (yikes!) on one test, 25 on the other. The catch is my kid wasn’t applying for engineering-- applied to music and I suspect the music helped. Still, I was surprised.

My recommendation for Md is to get the application in early. The school has a very early deadline (Nov 1).
